Kit components:
To date, several species of mycoplasma have been linked to reproductive problems in dogs. The exact role of some species in reproductive disorders remains unclear because they are often isolated from both healthy and sick individuals. The most important species of mycoplasma include:
Bacteria of the genus Mycoplasma (genus now called Mycoplasmopsis, class Mollicutes, order Mycoplasmatales, family Mycoplasmataceae) have been isolated from the reproductive tracts of both healthy and infertile dogs and bitches and are considered part of the normal vaginal flora.
The most common species of Mycoplasma found in the urogenital tract is Mycoplasma canis (now taxonomically named Mycoplasmopsis canis), identified in healthy and infertile dogs, including those with urogenital diseases, while M. edwardii (now taxonomically named Mycoplasmopsis edwardii) is most commonly found in healthy dogs. Other species identified in the canine reproductive tract include M. molare (now Mesomycoplasma molare), M. spumans (now Metamycoplasma spumans), and M. maculosum (now Mycoplasmopsis maculosa), which have variable but generally lower prevalence than M. canis.
Experimental studies have demonstrated the potential role of M. canis as a pathogen, and other Mycoplasma spp. have been linked to infertility in dogs or pyometra. Experimental and observational studies have established that mycoplasmas can cause endometritis, miscarriages, and neonatal mortality in many different species, such as cats, cattle, sheep, goats, and humans.
